Tasting notes

The taste profile is sweet, with notes of citrus and oak. The creamy vanilla nose is teased with caramel and butterscotch, all underscored by familiar baking spices such as clove, nutmeg, or cinnamon.

I believe that Blanton's has yet to be surpassed.

"In recent months, I've tasted Eagle Rare, EH Taylor Small Batch and Single Barrel, Henry McKenna, 1792 SB-BiB-SiB-FP-12yr, all sorts of Smoke Wagon, John J. Bowman, etc., and I can say that nothing has come close to Blanton's in terms of its mellow scent and smooth flavors. Although they vary significantly, the Blanton's barrel numbers I've sampled all outperform the competition if you prefer smooth bourbon with great aromas that don't irritate your nose."

Patrizio (5/5)

My preferred whiskey

"My preferred bourbon; I've been drinking Blanton's for more than 30 years. The best mint julep is what I make with it once a year during Derby season; don't knock it until you've tried it. I normally just drink it neat. All other people receive Buffalo Trace. Wish it wasn't so difficult to locate."

Utba S. (5/5)

It was a mistake for me to try this.

"We had a bottle left over from a trip back east, so I made the mistake of sampling it, and it destroyed me. It was excellent, but now the bottle is empty. Fans of Blanton are aware of the suffering. I'd advise you to buckle up if you haven't already, but the rides are too smooth. Enjoy!"

Celyddon B. (5/5)

I like it. Purchase a few bottles each year.

"I'm not sure why this is receiving some unfavorable comments. I've been consuming many bourbons for more than 50 years, and this one is particularly good. It's a lovely bottle and a beautiful drink, despite the fact that it's a little difficult to find."

Evren N. (5/5)

If you can find good bourbon at list price, do so.

"This bourbon is still in my opinion one of the greatest. You should keep in mind that since there is only one barrel, there will always be variation among the bottles. I've never had a bottle, though, that I didn't like. But please remember that paying outrageous costs ($200 a bottle and up) above the markup I've observed at other nearby liquor stores are NOT worth it. If you ever come upon a bottle at MSRP, purchase it and take pleasure in it. But refrain from making any form of markup; it is not worthwhile."

Cirillo E. (5/5)

Strange things people say

"Ignore all the bad reviews if you love bourbon and appreciate it enough to sip it neat. Assuming reverse sociology is at play or that ignorance is the cause. If you can manage to find a bottle at Tipxy, it's definitely difficult to find and well worth the price.  For those who value finer things in life, this is one of the few rewards I have, and it's also my one guilty pleasure."

Strickland22 (5/5)

Beautiful bourbon! Ignore the unfavorable comments.

"It doesn't get much better than this, and IF you use ice, only use one small cube. Otherwise, it's best enjoyed neat. I can't wait to get my hands on a bottle myself. I tried this for the first time at a friend's house who was given it as a gift for his birthday. It was incredibly smooth and rich. At first, I couldn't believe it was a bourbon. Ignore the unfavorable comments! Those were undoubtedly written by uneducated, palate-underdeveloped 21-year-olds. I'm aware that fifteen years ago, I couldn't have appreciated Blanton's to its fullest. This whiskey cannot be compared to Jack Daniels! Jack is a decent whiskey for what it is: a less expensive mixer. Stick to your cheap whiskeys, Coke drinkers, and stop hating on the good stuff."

Zina M. (5/5)

What a humorous one star!

"Oh my gosh, those reviews with one star are funny! Even funnier are those who don't understand that the 1-star reviews aren't meant to be taken seriously, but rather to make fewer people want to purchase it so that there would be more for them. Cheers!"

Kuznetsova (5/5)

For all enthusiasts, this is ideal whiskey

"Smooth. Excellent taste. a good age. Stunning packing design and a wonderful present. The favorite of my family."

Fédora R. (5/5)

This bourbon is just outstanding.

"I couldn't believe how fantastic this Burbon was. The only issue is that I can no longer find it because the day it comes at the store, it vanishes! Blanton, we miss you!"

Blanton's Original is the bourbon that created the single-barrel category in 1984, drawn from the center cut of the legendary Warehouse H and once reserved for ambassadors and Colonel Blanton's inner circle. Rich, rounded and endlessly collectible, it's best served neat or on the rocks. A bar-cart icon on TIPXY.
